TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: 9 4 , Fleet-street, Sept. 6, 1838. Silt,—At a meeting of the Cobbett Club, held yesterday, the following► resolution was unanimously agreed to : " That the thanks of this Club be given to the Editor of The Sun, for his having so readily given insertion to our Petition for Annual Parliaments : Universal Suffrage : Vote by Ballot : No Property Qualcation for Members : and for the Payment of Members for their services." I was directed to communicate this vote of thanks, which I do with great cheerfulness, seeing that they are awarded to a gentleman who, though dif f ering with us in political opinions, is ready, not merely not to obstruct us in promul gating those opinions, but to afford us the means of making Ahem known, and that too even at some inconvenience to I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, B. TILLY, Hon. Sec. P.S. The meetings of the Cobbclt Club are monthly, which accounts for the length of time (three weeks) having elapsed since the favour was conferred which has called forth those thanks. LITERATURE. THE CITY OF THE CZAR. Bentley, London, 1838. The author of this work, which is an account of a visit made to St. Pete rsburgh, in the winter of the year, 1830, is Mr. Raikes, Misr has produced a very readable volume, neatly written in point of style, and abounding in curious anecdotes. His deL`sils of the Russian capital, are by no means of an encouraginj or encomiastic character. It is, according to him, one of the dullest cities in Europe, where the presence of the Emperor, notwithstanding his general affability, inspires no other feelieg than that of profound ''ve ; where a system of espionage is pushed to the most ri g o rous extent; where even the remotest allusion to po lities is strictly forbidden in private society ; and where the •elinlate for many months in the year, is so inhospitable, that --we quote Mr.Raikes's own words—" public thermometers a le plac e d i n the streets to give that notice of approach i ng danger, which the humsn frame may not immediately per ceive, as the change is sometimes so rapid, that you are naught by the frost b e f ore y ou can b e aw a re of it." When e frost has once set in, pedestrians begin to be filled with anxiety for th e sa f ety o f t h e i r noses, w hi c h i s " a po i n t i n h e ch:a for e i gner i s most li a bl e to attac k ;" and many is t ingeni ous d ev i ce adopted to keep thatinteresting fea 'lre in a state of wholesome warmth. But whatever means aro devised for its preservation, it is imperatively necessary that they be impromptu ones, for in an instant tile nose "becomes of a livid whiteness, without pain," so that unless a man be prompt in his device, he may go abroad with a healthy nasal promontory, and return home with one as dead as mutton. Mr. Raikes speaks with re 113NA of the Emperor Nicholas, even while he demurs to ass o~licy, and tells many gossiping anecdotes of his prede the Emperor Alexander, who—if we may credit our author —died literally of a broken heart. We subjoin a Peasant piece of Court gossip, relative to Napoleon, and " b i s uchiaikseed-:of marriage - with one of the Russian Grand ,„,l\Vhen Napoleon had accomplished his divorce from Jo iit'Lmce, and to ally himself with a legitimate poaer, ; , - ,.."as alwa s been assorted that he hesitated in his choice be -A"e'm a Grand Duchess of Russia and an Archduchess of in.tastria, both of whom ;ere willing to instructions °m his propos:lls. f 4 2Pears th at C au l a i ncourt did receive private re m his Court to sound the feelings of this imperial family °n the subject of a marriage between Napoleon and the Grand andebress Catherine Paulowna, sister of the Emperor Alex plea As one primary obstacle was suspected in the scru co__°l the Empress-Mother, it was thought advisable to , e ' xi gl ecce operations by some vague allusions to the con ._ 9n , so pa.cootible as to draw forth the expression of her Itirnents, and Yet so guarded as not to compromise the dig tity or vanity of the imperial suitor.

O Taylor, Red-Lion Court. o, her e are several Papers in this Number on the subject al) Galvani sm, i n wh i ch the different theories at present '°al are discussed by their respecti ve p art i zans w i th zeal, " I ncl, as it appears to us, with considerabl e ability. Profes sur Forbes's " Researches on Heat—Third Series" —are I°lls etOnclded. These Paper s are Lighly valuabl e contribu to a most important branch of science, and in the cou struction of a mechanical theory of heat, the results of the le !rued Professor's experiments, imperfer.t as his modesty . may lead him to consider them, must form a great part of the groundwork. " Researches on Suppuration," is from the pen of George Gulliver, Esq., and opens views of the greatest importance in the medical treatment of a certain class of diseases. The Author has detailed the results of a number of experiments and observations, from which it appears, that in diseases attended by inflammation and suppuration, pus becomes mixed with the blood, ant may, theref'ore, reasonably he supposed to be one, if not the sole, cause of the febrile action which takes place in those cases. We heartily agree with the Auther of this valuable Paper in " expressing a hope that it will lead to a still mere careful and extensive examination of the blood in various diseases than has hitherto been attempted." " The Micoscrope," he justly observes, " may I), , coune as important an instrument to the pathologist, and even to the medical practitioner, as the stethoscope." Mr. Gulliver thu3 concludes his interesting Paper :—" If my results should be confirmed, it is hardly too much to expect that some important discovery, particularly in diagnosis, may be made by a patient investigation of the blood in many malig nant diseases, such as cancer—it is not long since the urinous fever, as it is called, was found to depend on the accumulation of urea in the blood." UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. Of all the various articles contained in this Number, by far the most entertaining is the account of the Expedi tion to Walcheren," which conveys some intelligence that we do not remember to have seen before. It also gives a clever, brief account of Pitt's character as a War Minister, in which the writer, with justice, pronounces him deficient. STANDARD NOVELS, No. LXX. Bentley, London, 1838.

The reports received to-day from the corn counties of Eng-, land arc little less favourable than those previously published, but we see in some of them signs of an apprehension that the wheat crop will turn out less good and abundant than was an ticipated. The accounts generally, however, are of a decidedly favourable description. In Ireland, and more particularly in Scotland, the rain appears to have produced the most gloomy forebodings. Our correspondent at Edinburgh, under date the 6th of September, writes :—" Since eight P. M. on Mon day, it never ceased raining for forty• eight hours, and is now a torrent. Nothing I think can save the harvest aow. The prospect is frightful." From Ireland we regret to hear that the weather there has undergone a change, which, should it continue, will more or less retard the progress of the harvest. Tuesday evening and night the rain came down in torrents, accompanied by vivid dashes of lightning and loud peals of thunder. On Thursday there were showers, which during their continuance were very heavy. The Waterford Chronicle says—" We have b:en in formed by experienced agriculturists that the wheat crop has been materially injured, but that the extent of detriment it has suffered can not he well ascertained until the thrashing shall have been over. In the counties of Waterford, Kilkenny, and Tipperary, this complaint is very general. The Dublin Evening Post's report of Thursday last is, however, less gloomy. Our Contemporary says that the ac counts from the country continue to be generally favourable ; and that although much rain has fallen, and the weather still looks threatening, he sees no ground for despondency : " The rain of the last two days can have done no material injury; and a week or two of fine weather would, we think, be nearly sufficient to secure the corn still on the ground." In Essex and some of the adjoining counties the labours of the field are fast drawing to a successful close, although there is yet a considerable portion of swarth corn ungathered, particu larly oats, which ripen very irregularly. The crop of barley is allowed to be equal in produce to many years past ; the quality, too, is good, and, as the progress of the harvest has been attended with little or no interruption, much of it has been got up without a drop of rain—a fact advantageous to the farmer as regards colour, and satisfactory to the maltster as regards increase in the couch. Beans will be very late in the harvest, but some farmers cut them much earlier than others, as the straw of those cut green is said to contain much more nutritive quality than straw which stands till the sun dries up every particle of moisture, without benefitting, the produce.— Essex Herald. From the very commencement of harvest the work has been going on almost without the smallest interruption. In one or two instances a moderate quantity of rain has fallen ; and it may have been necessary to exchange the reaping hook for the scythe, and transfer the labourers from the wheat field to the mowing of barley ; in no other sense are we aware that any time has been lost or any delay occasioned from any cause whatever. Consequently, the harvesting of wheat is nearly concluded, and a tolerably accurate judgment may be formed of the condition of the crop. In conformity with our hitherto avowed opinion, we have the satisfaction of being still more thoroughly convinced that in Norfolk wheat is not a de ficient crop. Those which have been complained of as want ing plant are still defective not only in bulk, but probably in the quality of the grain also ; notwithstanding which, those wheats which had a full plant, are so remarkably good, that, taken as a whole, we believe the produce will be found nearly equal to that of the two lest years. Throughout the summer it has generally been believed tint barley was much the bet ter crop of the two.—Norfollt Chronicle. The following are a few of the reports received front Pro vinciall ' , C o ntemporaries : Since our last pub lication, the weather in this nei g hbour. hood, with th e exce p tion of Wednesda y night and the followin g m orning, when a co n s i der a b le q uantit y of rain fell, has been hi g hly favourable for harvest ope r a tions. The sc y the and the -fickle have b een at work with the g reatest rapidity, and be " .-ti e ln have fallen the luxuriant produce of a large breadth fore r. 'n many places the fields have been wholly cleared of lan oad. •- and large stacks of corn are being reared initY! Indeed, it may be questioned " ore activity and perseverance t g h od whether, surprising o a t nd a i n t y i former perto e, sn On the lower soils, the has not, of course, been yet 1.7."'" u ; were evinced in securing the crops. same progress whole but after all the forebodings as to the lateness of the harvest, should the weather continue favourable, will be secured a. an earlier period than certainly might have been anticipated. The continuance of fine weather, however, for securing the re. maining crops in good condition, is of the utmost importance. If that should happily be the ease, a fair average crop of good quality may be safely calculated upon.—Doncaster Gazette. The weather during the present week has been highly fa vourable. Oats and barley are harvested generally in this vi cinity. A large portion of the wheat land is reaped, but not yet harvested. In some parts of this county the wheat is not ripe. In Wales the grain will require another week of sun shine to mature it ; and we fear that the ensuing week will be not so favourable as the past. It will he seen by our market colums that foreign corn will be admitted at 2s. Bd. or Is. duty per quarter.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. The harvest is late : cold nights have retarded the ripening of the grain ; but the return is abundant, the quality excel lent, and the alternations of fine intervals so frequent, that much of the wheat is carried in far finer condition than we have known it to be in warns and dry summers, when reaping has been at its height in the middle of July. As to the barley and oats, to one has attempted to give utterance to a doubt—they are abundant, and both ears and straw are balanced as to quality ; nothing can be wanting to them Lot fine and settled weather. The northern counties require a fine warm autumn to give them security; it is more than possible that they will be so favoured. Peas are partially carrisd. Beanslnre complained of ; but of late we hear no further mention of failure. Clover—the second crop is most beautiful, even, and abundant. Turnips also give promise of plenty, and to this day we hear no men tion of that pest of the three last autumns, the grub or cater pillar on the moth, which so alarmingly prevailed.—Cam bridge Chronicle. A lofty and extensive range of warehouses have just been completed in Montague-close, between the ancient Church of St. Saviour, Southwark, and the river. They run parallel with the entire length of the old Church, and are built in a very substantial and handsome manner. The site is whore part of the Palace of former Bishops of Winchester once stood, and where a monastery at one time existed. The expense of erecting the new pile of warehouses, which are the property of Alderman Ilumplicry, who has inscribed his name and the date of their erection on the top in large letters, is upwards of 100,0001. They form a striking contrast to the Old and spacious gothic Church, the glory and shame of St. Savicnir's. The nave must soon fall altogether, unless some thing is done to prevent a catastrophe which all lovers of antiquity, and all those interested in preserving the ancient ecclesiastical edifices of the country, must deplore. . . vv . - On Wednesday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, as the driver of one of the box cabs was proceedings through Belton. street, to the cab stand in Holborn, nearly opposite Bowl-yard, in passing under the archway of Bowl-yard, which is very low, he had forgotten to stoop, being mounted on the box of the cab, when his forehead struck against the arch, and he was knocked off the cab. The unfortunate man was dis covered lying under the arch bleeding copiously from a dread ful fracture of the forehead. His nose was smashed flat, and he was otherwise so injured that but slight hopes are enter tained of his recovery. He was immediately taken to the 17:iiversity College Hospital. In ryiNty parts of the west of England hares have become so E catTe that many persons, tired of blank days, have given up hunting ; and there is also a talk of more than one pack of harriers being given up. This is attributed to the new Game Act, which allows hares to be killt.d and openly sold during the whole year, whila the sportsman contends that they should be under the same rei.triatiQn; sport' that respect as part ridges and pheasants.

PLYMOUTH AND DEVONPORT FREEMASON4' MEETING.—A meeting having been called of the brethren of the mystic tic, belonging to the four lodges of Plymouth, and the two lodges of Deyonport, to consider the best means of promoting the objects, and securing the benefit of " The Freemasons and General Life lnsuranoe Society." the same was held last night In the Masonic Hall, Ply mouth, the P.

Insurance Society, stating its objects, with running comments upon the past and present state of ma sonry, Which elicited much applause, Brother Senior Warden Gill, of the Lodge of Fortitude, in an elegant speech pro posed, and Brother Maynard, P.M. of the Brunswick Lodge, seconded, the following resolution, which was carried unani mously ;_That it is the opinion of the meeting, that the Freemasons and General Life Insurance Society is -calcu lated to be of great and permanent advantage to the ma sonic body by its provisions to promote prudent habits ; its re. lief in cases of emergency, its option of an annuity for age, or an increase of policy at death, and particularly its appropriation of ten per cent. of all the profits for the benefit and benevolent objects of masonry in each district.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 5 THE TURF INVESTIGATION.—The Marquis of Sligo, Lord Rossmore, Mr. Maher, M P., and several other merriberi of the Curragh Turf Club, met at Kildare on Monday, to take into e , insideration the charges brought against that body by Mr. Fergu,oll, the owner of the winner of the Goodwood Stakes. That gettleman not having attended to subs•antiate his charg,s, they resolved that the conduct he impuipied was quite justifiable, and a meeting was called for this day to con sider whether, after having declined to prove his imputations against them, Mr. Ferguson should be p_Tuntted to remain a mernhcr of the Coffee-room. Mr. Ferguson, in a letter pub lished previous to the meeting, stated that he would not at tend because he could not depend upon the Turf Club for jus tice. Lcr 1 Miltowo has declared that, at the meeting this day, lie will justify himself from every cha-ge brought against him. la conneation with Turf matte's, lin iy telt you that the Evening Mail totally denies the rumour of an Irish No- Ideman Poweneourt) having lest an enormous sum at play. It is still believed, nevertheless. I have In and that Thomas Moore, " the Bard of Erin," is in Dublin, and purposes staying for some time in this country. The occasion will, I have reason to believe, be embraced for paying him some national compliment. The Italian company, Persiani, Rubini, Negri, De Angioli, and the rest are in Dublin, and have given several concerts, which have been thronged with the most fashionable audiences. COMBINATION. —A special Petty Sessions was held at Drog heda yesterday, to inquire into a case of combination among the ship-carpenters of that port. For a long time it has.been alleged that this trade, Which was (ice adegy corifined to Dublin, was rapidly increasing in Drogheda, in consequence of the absence of combination there, which gives the present in quiry peculiar and painful interest. Afxr the examination of several witnesses it was clearly shown that the workmen usually employed in Drogheda, after making a strike for an increase of wages, tampered with the English workmen, brought to suc ceed them, and induced them, more kor.vever by entreaties and representations than threats, to leave the employment and quit the town without fulfilling their engagements. It was also proved that the Drogheda workmen subscribed a small sum of money, and procured vehicles to enable the English carpenters to leave the town. Six men who were identified as taking part in these proceedings were committed for trial, but subsequently admitted to bail. MR. O'CONNELL'S TOUR. (Abridged from the Waterford Chronicle.) Mr. O'Connell, after his temporary seclusion at Mount Melleray, arrived on Saturday at Lismore, where he bad an enzagement to breakfast with the wry Rev. Dr. Fogharty, P. P., who invited a select party to meet him ; among whom we noticed the Lord Lieutenant of the County Waterford, the Right Hon. H. V. Stuart, Sir William J. Homan, Bart., F. Currey, Esq., Lismore Castle, Capt. Bushe, late High Sheriff, Capt. Croker, R.N., Capt. Bailey, Glencarne Abbey, L. Keane, Esq., Belmont, &c. &c. The Very Rev. Dr. FOGIIAkTY having been called to the Chair, read, on behalf of the gentry, clergy, inhabitants and parishioners of Lismore, an address, assuring Mr. O'Connell that " he possessed the unbounded and undiminished confik:p of the people of Ireland ; and that in weal or in vrge thy tt ili turned to him as the unswerving champinn of her ri g io : - , the day-star of her dawning nationality, not.::: , a ." ustanuing the vindictive whisper or malignant undo yowl of those, who, wrecked in moral and polities...! cliaracter, would gladly banish him whom they hate," &c. 1 • Mr. O'CoNNELL, reply, spoke, with his usual force and fluency, an gPeroed to have gained renewed vigour by sub mitting to the " silent system" pursued at Mount Melleray, as the Right Hon. Villiers Stuart afterwards facetiously observed. The Hon, Member complimented Waterford, as the first to set the example of political independence in 1826, under the banners of the Right Hon. H, V. Stuart, when Beresford in fluence was annihilated. He next passed an encomium upon the pious brotherhood of La Trappe, " who," he said, " had converted the bleak and desolate mountain into a blooming Eden, and improved the agricultural habits of the people. " Is the pampered sensualist," continued ho, "to turn round with a sneer and say, that they ought not to be protected—that they ought to bc banished from the country." The Right Hon. H. V. STUART next rose, and expatiated upon the claims of Mr. O'Connell, not to the gratitude of his countrymen only, but of all mankind. Ile contrasted Ireland's present prospects with her condition in 1826, when he was but a raw recruit in the service of the people. A letter was read from Sir Richard Musgrave, regretting his absence, through illness; and another from Sir Richard Keane, who is in London. The meeting then separated, and Mr. O'Connell quitted Lismore amid the warm and enthusiastic cheering of the people. -- --- GREAT POPULAR MOVEMENT IN IRELAND 1 In reference to the correspondence between the Secretary of a Conservative Society and the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Dublin Eva* Post thus writes : Talk of the moving of the " masses" in Yorkshire, and the multitudinous assemblages of the Birmingham Union, and the meetings of Irish Reformers in the Coburg Gardens. What are all these together, in comparison to the movement of the Irish Metropolitan Conservative Society, which has just pre sented an example worthy the immediate adoption of the test of the Orangemen throughout Ireland, We find by the correspondence, published with du prominence in the organs of the faction, that this said Irish Metropolitan Con servative Society, constitiog of six hundred and fifty members, baa had the truo native modesty to forward a letter to the Queen, requeAing from her M.rjesty the slight ihvour of the immediate dismissal of the Marquis of Narmanby I Mr. Butt, the Honorary Secretary of this formidable confederacy, assures Lord John Russell that the signatures actually amount to six hundred and fifty l Her Majesty, who is fond of a joke, must have been considerably amused at this address. We are, however, sorry that a respectable gentleman like the " Hone rary Secretary" should have figured as the Butt in so ludicrous a business. We are not informed whether the Address was " graciously received." Oil that pisint we are left in the dark. But u may Mite it for granted, that it could not bavq howl received with the gravity usual upon such occasim, CLERICA,L INTELLIGENCE. The Rev.

Drummond paned his examination in semminship to serve as Lieutenant in her Majesty's navy ; also, William 11,nry Harris, to serve as Purser; and Mr. Charles Maitland, to serve as Master's As. sistant. It is with great pleasure that the promotion of Mr. Arthur Kennedy, Mate of the Britannia, to the rank of Lieu tenant, has been received at this port. It may be recollected that this gentleman was one of those unfortunate Officers who attended the meeting of Mates, held at the George Inn, Poets. mouth, to express their regret a' the refusal of the Commandp.nt of the Plymouth divisi n of Royi.l Marines to gralt the Land of that corps to attend the funcral of their brother officer, Mr. Lewis, and to express their thanks to the CP l .enel of the 29. h Regimer.t for his kindness on that oecae.on, and which mutiny, very properly, drew down the 4isplcasure of the Admiralty, The affiir, however, from the present promotion, must have blown over, and I sincerely trust that two or three others, who bad reasonable hope of their promotiOn at the coronation, wilt not now have long to wait ere they find themselves raised to the same rank.

The arch way is, generally speaking, lost until close to it, anti then, I s!toulcl say, it wotild appear to tremble under its weight; at a distance, viewing from the north-west side in Flyt'e Park, you see only the six-feet pedestal, and the statue appears like a man (it is assumed) on a dronn dary ! the part from the chest of the rider to half way up the neck of the horse (intended as such) giving the appearance of the hump of the dromedary, or it may be an enormous paunch—the Duke of Wellington with a paunch I But when you near the figure it is still worse, for not only is it impuss ble to make out what the stoppage of due proportion arises from—but the Duke's head is so enormous, the nose so terrific, and the tout ensemble so grizzly, that a mouth of adequate dimensions is imagined, and an Ogre stands confessed ! I would not have an old French nurse make her appearance under such circumstances for scmething, for in stead of the an el " Marlbrouk s'cn va t'en guerra Mi romtorotomarom tearra," she might be 'delivered of the following ti.toggr:l, in terrorem to all French young ones : " Ceßanton de Gros ventre Mange nos enfans—diantre!" Alas ! for the Duke of Wellington —on e of the bast propor tioned figures in make and height in Britain, with a counte nance essentially lioman—one that the chivalry of the lied Men wculd term the eagle chief ! Then, again, how very dis courteous I—be turns his back, end of course his horse's tail, on tho stranger, entcring for the first time the mighty metro polis of as yet a mighty nation.—A Second Letter by a eon tributor. _ , EANIINGTON SPA, SEPT. 6.—The Race Ball on Tuesday evening at one Upper Assembly Rooms was very numerously attended, and included some of our most dis tingui,hcd visiters.

A part of the estate had already been divided into farms, and the roads, which before had been laid out, wore now undergoing a thorough repair. On the estate in Galway the course of reclamation was also rapidly advanc ing, and much progress had been made in draining the boon dary fences. Other improvements had also taken place there. The directors had recently received an offer of 6.000 acres of land in the county of Kerry, and another of about the saute quantity in Mayo, both of which were now under considera tion. It was gratifying for the directors to find that a good feeling existed between the inhabitants and their agents, and this fact, and the eagerness manifested to become tenants of the Societe, sufficiently evinced the popularity of the measure in Ireland. The number of shares disposed of had been 7,081, and the amount paid on the call up to th e 30 t h u l t. was 2,4601. The rec e ipt s f or the past }ear, up to the 30th of June, had been 5,199/. I4s.
